Hoodwinked Sneak Peak on Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon and The Weinstein Company announced today that on Thursday, January 12th at 8pm, Nickelodeon will air the first 5 minutes of the new CGI animated family film "Hoodwinked" featuring voiceovers by Glenn Close, Jim Belushi, Anne Hathaway, Anthony Anderson, Patrick Warburton, Andy Dick, Xzibit and many more.  "Hoodwinked" will be released in theaters nationwide the day after the sneak preview on Friday, January 13th, 2006.

In this re-telling of the classic fable of Little Red Riding Hood, the story begins at the end, and there's more to the tale than meets the eye. Furry and feathered cops from the animal world investigate a domestic disturbance at Granny's cottage, involving a karate-kicking Red, a sarcastic Wolf, an oafish Woodsman and a thrill-seeking Granny. The charges are many: breaking and entering, disturbing the peace, intent to eat and wielding an axe without a license.  Not to mention, this case might be tied to the elusive "Goody Bandit" who has been stealing from shops everywhere.

"Hoodwinked" is a CGI animated family film targeted towards kids of all ages and parents.  Nickelodeons primary audience is children between the ages of 2 and 11.  The last film that Nickelodeon did a sneak preview for was "Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" in October 2005.
